Burberry Trophy jumper

Gareth Malone I don't know what a trophy jumper is, or what I'd need to do to win one, though I'm more likely to wear a bright jumper than this trend.

Jon Snow Beautiful cut. I like the pattern, but do I have the waistline to get away with it?

Dermot O'Leary I love knitwear and am actually on the look-out for what you might call a statement jumper. This pattern is a bit too "Christmas jumper" for me – I'm not quite up for that full effect – but a modified version, yes, I'd give it a go. I love traditional British knits, smooth and chunky.

Louis Smith I love the jumper and hat, but not with suit trousers – jeans or harem-style pants would work better. I also like the gloves and tie, but not with the jumper and hat – that's overload. I feel that these jumpers were pretty big last winter.

Nick GrimshawI'm not into this. I don't like patterned jumpers, because I think I look like my dad in them. I can see this happening, and it's already a bit how teenage boys are dressing, isn't it? My head is too big to wear a hat, but I am into the idea of a flat cap. Those fancy gloves are a bit too feminine.

Louis Vuitton bomber

Gareth Malone I'm never seen in a bomber jacket outside the cockpit of a Spitfire. My mum calls these jackets bum-freezers. A total no from me.

Jon Snow Hopelessly over-elaborate. I would not be seen dead in it. Give me a real bomber jacket any time.

Dermot O'Leary This dark and sheeny bomber jacket looks great with smart trousers and shoes. The fur on the hood is a bit mid‑1980s B Boy, but I like it. What's he carrying, though? Is that a miniature sleeping bag?

Louis Smith This jacket is doing it. It's a really good look. But I'm not loving the polo neck. Also, a simple belt buckle is more up my street. And I can't see the odd-shaped bag taking off.

Nick Grimshaw I love a bomber jacket, although there is a tendency to look like a bouncer. I wouldn't wear it with shoes and trousers, though. Maybe I'd wear one to a festival with trainers.

Prada red

Gareth Malone Pillar-box red has never been my colour, although I did once own a red shirt. It's the sort of colour I'd struggle to wear beyond 25 December.

Jon Snow Suave, great cut, love the slanting pockets, sumptuous colour. Would I dare wear it? You bet I would.

Dermot O'Leary This imperial red certainly makes a big statement. I'd like the coat, but it would have to be in black. This coat has echoes of a Russian tsar. Beyond the colour, it looks like a beautiful, slim, double‑breasted cavalry coat. It's luxury and street at the same time – a good look for the right person.

Louis Smith I'm not a polo neck man, but the coat is pretty cool and I'm loving the round red glasses – I'd definitely wear those with a smart outfit or a suit. They're a bit Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. I like long coats with fur, but I don't like the colour. It's something Kanye [West] would pull off.

Nick Grimshaw I love red. It can be really warm on men. Red jeans and a denim jacket with old boots is a good look. I've also got a really nice burgundy Gucci jacket that's one of the things that always gets the most compliments when I wear it.

YSL man clutch

Gareth Malone One of the guys from the Manchester airport choir frequents a pub that has a sign on the door saying, "Absolutely no man bags." Many a British man would struggle with the word "clutch".

Jon Snow Cool dude look – but what's in that delightful little bag? Not for me, but if he needs it to carry his iPhone, a makeup puff and a couple of Pro Plus to ensure he's awake enough not to leave it on the night bus, I guess it does the job.

Dermot O'Leary I'm a big bag man, and I love leather, but a "man clutch" is a step too far – a bit Partridge In Paris. The rest of this look is a bit too neat schoolboy for me, but I can see it taking off – not the bag, but the sleeveless V-neck, shirt and slacks.

Louis Smith It's terrible! I'm all for man bags, because I am always on the go and need to transport my stuff in style, but a clutch is too far.

Nick Grimshaw It looks wonderful on the model, but it can't happen because it looks too like [Cristiano] Ronaldo. I saw it in Ibiza, but it makes you look like a woman. I like men's clothes when it looks like you haven't bothered at all. And anyway, what are you carrying in that clutch? I'd rather have a holdall or rucksack.

Dolce & Gabbanna velvet

Gareth Malone When I was a kid, I had a velour/velvety jumper and I still love the way velvet feels. I see myself dressed head to toe in velvet, but I'm not sure I'd like anyone else to.

Jon Snow I'm not a fan of the three‑piece, and I'm not sure I'd ever go for this retro Sherlock Holmes look. I return to the past, for sure, but what's new?

Dermot O'Leary Velvet can look great, but not this much velvet. It's a great evening fabric, and I can see some people bringing it into their daytime look, but it's not something I'd really get into. That claret's a great, rich, winter colour, though.

Louis Smith This is suave. I'd wear the trousers and jacket far more fitted, but other than that it's a good look. Three-pieces are the way forward. I'm also a fan of dicky bows and own several. I love the burgundy against the white shirt, too.

Nick Grimshaw This looks sick – I really like that look for nightwear. I can't see it carrying across to casual daywear, but when you're dressing up, I think velvet is great. I love a dicky bow, but there's a danger of looking like a child or a magician if you don't get it right.
